Chapter 820: Myriad Races Flee, Hundred Battles Perishes

Chapter 822: All Races Flee, Baizhan Falls (Please Subscribe)

Yuezhan was dead.

This quasi-Rule Master, a being who could rival the ancient fleshly Human Kings, had never gained any advantage or reaped any benefit since his first emergence.

As the strongest of the Prison King lineage outside the gate, he had led that lineage, lying dormant for a hundred thousand years!

One could say he had done well, yet unfortunately, not well enough—in the final moment, he was exposed because of Ziyan’s presence.

Or perhaps he thought the time had come to emerge from seclusion.

But what awaited him was death this very day.

The Divine Emperor Consort, too, displayed great might today, first killing Polong, then Yuezhan, thus fulfilling the bond of continuation she had agreed upon with Su Yu that day—she had indeed slain Yuezhan, completing her promise to Su Yu.

…

Within the heavens and earth.

Su Yu was utterly indifferent.

Whether dead or alive, if the Divine Emperor Consort hadn’t killed them today, he would have done so sooner or later!

In his own world, these people would not find it so easy to leave!

“Still quite strong!”

Su Yu praised the experts who were constantly destroying his avatars, then laughed heartily: “Openers of heaven, open heaven and earth, open an era, open all paths… but openers of heaven are not all the same!”

Su Yu smiled, and the next moment, he shouted lowly: “I hold heaven and earth, life and death return, slay!”

Boom!

The heavens and earth resounded, and suddenly a figure emerged within them—somewhat illusory, with a hint of bewilderment—who abruptly looked at Su Yu. Su Yu roared: “Xingyue, slay the mighty foe!”

Xingyue was dazed; Su Yu pointed at Baizhan and said, “Slay him!”

Xingyue was startled, and instantly deathly aura erupted. With a touch of stupor, she swept deathly aura toward Baizhan while asking in utter confusion: “Where am I?”

“Slay the enemy, shut up!”

“…”

Fine!

Xingyue’s illusory form instantly unleashed an immensely powerful deathly aura, covering the heavens and earth. Su Yu reached out and grabbed—the Death Spirit Sovereign suddenly appeared. Su Yu commanded: “Lend me the power of death!”

The Death Spirit Sovereign could not resist, nor did he resist; the power of death instantly merged into Su Yu’s world.

In an instant, Xingyue’s aura surged, deathly aura seethed, and with a thunderous boom, deathly aura enveloped Baizhan in a flash. Baizhan groaned, his entire body covered in deathly aura, corroding his flesh!

“I hold heaven and earth, time is mine!”

Su Yu erupted with another force of the Dao, and in an instant, Xingyue felt her speed increase tenfold, while Baizhan’s speed was reduced tenfold!

Sizzle, sizzle!

Endless deathly aura corroded Baizhan, who cried out again, and some of the acupoints on his body instantly dimmed.

Su Yu shouted again: “Let your brother lend you power!”

Xingyue was bewildered—was he talking about her?

…

The next moment.

Upstream of the River of Time.

The Human King was still fuming, when suddenly his expression changed. In the distance, Xingyue’s figure flickered, and within her body, the power of life and death spread out, her aura plummeting in an instant.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xingyue struggling: “Brother… lend… lend me power…”

The Human King was furious!

“Damn his ancestors!”

He roared, unable to hold back any longer: “Su Yu, you bastard! All of you remember this—when we return to the myriad realms, the first thing we do is beat this grandson to death, damn it!”

This bastard was forcibly summoning his sister back to his world. Though her true self hadn’t returned, her Dao power had indeed returned. It wasn’t that Xingyue controlled the Dao of life and death in his world—quite the opposite: Su Yu controlled Xingyue!

Damn it!

You take my territory, borrow my Dao, and now you even borrow my sister—and that’s not enough. Now you want to use my sister’s body to make us lend power again. Are you even human?

Beast!

Around him, the crowd was also shaken. What was happening?

In the distance, Ming Wang was horrified: “Your Majesty, is that the Opener of Heaven controlling Xingyue?”

The Human King cursed, then, exasperated, knowing that the flow of time was different, he roared: “Shut up, hurry up—send life force to Xingyue!”

Bastard!

I’m so angry I could die!

When I get back, I’ll blow you up first, even beating Wu Huang to death doesn’t matter—I must kill this reckless bastard!

He goes too far!

Too much! You even want to borrow my sister!

Outrageous!

And here, a group of Rule Masters, all formidable, immediately channeled their power. Streams of life force surged into Xingyue’s body, as if transmitted through the endless river!

…

Within Su Yu’s world.

Xingyue’s body suddenly blazed with vitality!

In an instant, both life and death power surged greatly. In a flash, the two forces merged into a special energy, instantly covering Baizhan. With a piercing sound, a sword of life and death materialized in Xingyue’s hand, stabbing through Baizhan’s flesh acupoints!

Su Yu’s face was cold. He glanced at Baizhan, then quickly turned his gaze to Leibo and the others!

Since he was already borrowing power, Su Yu didn’t mind borrowing a bit more. Whether the Human King was happy or not… who cared!

It was all the mess the Human King had left behind!

Otherwise, why would I need to go through all this trouble?

Besides, annihilating the mighty foes and unifying the myriad realms was also to go and save you. If you don’t contribute, how can that be right?

The appearance of Xingyue stunned the others as well.

Was this even possible?

Su Yu controlled life and death. Now, Xingyue was the bearer of his Dao of life and death, so naturally Su Yu could summon his own Dao of life and death back to his world—nothing was impossible!

What came was not her true self, only a projection of her power.

And on Baizhan’s side, Yu’s face had completely changed.

Su Yu!

The Sky-Opener!

His methods were too numerous, far exceeding anything they had imagined. Among Sky-Openers, the only one anyone truly understood was the Lord of the Dead, master of the Dead Soul Dao—the Human Emperor’s half-baked attempt hardly counted.

Yet even the Lord of the Dead, when he opened his necrotic realm, relied predominantly on the Dead Soul Dao; he possessed nowhere near the sheer variety of Su Yu’s techniques!

Su Yu summoned ancestral descents, invoked the thresholds of life and death, and borrowed the might of the Human Emperor...

Each distinct method forced Yu and the others to entirely rewrite their understanding of what a Sky-Opener could be!

"They say absolute strength breaks ten thousand techniques, but that only holds when you are vastly superior to me. Under equal conditions, the Path of the Physical Body is the most primitive!"

Su Yu’s voice was frigid. "My methods are infinite. If you cannot kill me with a single punch, then your absolute strength is nothing but a farce! Do you truly believe that my mastery of ten thousand paths is inferior to your mastery of one? If so, why would this world ever need geniuses? Only the foolish boast that specializing in a single path can destroy ten thousand. It is a joke!"

The Physical Path was formidable, but not formidable enough to shatter him in a single blow. Against his myriad techniques, what could they possibly bring to bear?

A martial skill for every acupoint?

A talent for every aperture?

Neither their talents nor their martial skills could compare to his!

Su Yu’s voice was cold and grand. In the next instant, he reached out his hand, and the Chaos Dragon and Eight-Winged Tiger materialized immediately. Pointing toward Thunderstorm and his companions, Su Yu commanded coldly, "Slaughter them! If you idle any longer, I will execute you both and merge you into my realm!"

The Eight-Winged Tiger and the Chaos Dragon did not bother to argue. Though they had already slain several Celestials, the being before them was currently someone they dared not provoke!

Better to just fight!

As for Thunderstorm and the others, Thunderstorm was gravely wounded, and so was Yue Luo. Now, with Su Yu’s Fiend Ancestor incarnation immolating them, if the two beasts joined the fray, there was a real hope of beating the three of them to death!

Instantly, the two great powerhouses lunged toward the trio!

Rumble!

The great battle erupted. Thunderstorm and Yue Luo roared toward the sky, while Yue Xiao’s bones were shattered into splinters by the Fiend Ancestor’s flames, drawing forth agonized shrieks!

Those towering fiendish flames seemed to sear the very soul!

The screaming sounded like perdition itself!

And at this moment, Su Yu was the supreme villain, the ultimate antagonist. In the eyes of everyone present, he was the quintessential evildoer, a grand archfiend!

Su Yu’s seductive, enchanting voice rose once more, drifting softly. "Yu, slay Baizhan, and I shall grant you life!"

"If you fear my deception, then force Baizhan to detonate himself. Let his explosion shatter my realm and tear open a rift for your escape!"

"Is the death of all better than your own survival?"

"Yu, you bear the heavy burden of the Human Ancestor. How can you allow yourself to fall here?"

"Once the Myriad Clans annihilate Yuqing, they will surely come to reinforce me. Do you honestly think they will reinforce you?"

"The moment the five Masters of Laws arrive, you will face certain death, with nowhere left to run!"

"..."

The bewitching voice drifted into the minds of everyone present. The hypnotic cadence left even Yu somewhat dazed; Su Yu’s words seemed entirely reasonable.

If this continued, she would die!

Baizhan, that useless fool, had ruined her. They could have escaped, yet he had insisted on dragging her back. If things went on like this and Su Yu unveiled even more hidden cards, she would surely perish!

Su Yu’s enchanting voice echoed again: "Thunderstorm, Yue Luo, whose subordinates are you exactly? Whom do you wish to save? Leave one powerhouse behind to block my path and assist the other in escaping... Detonate yourselves! A self-detonation can help one person flee, breaking my realm and tearing a rift. The opening is right before your eyes..."

He was like a demon!

Those devilish whispers chilled the blood of all who heard them!

...

Below.

Wuji and the other powerhouses who had just merged into the path could not help but swallow hard, thoroughly terrified.

The impression Su Yu gave them... was far too sinister!

A truly terrifying existence!

Hong Yue could not resist sending a divine transmission to the Great Zhou King: "Has he... always been like this?"

Working alongside such a man, were they not afraid?

It was simply too frightening!

The Great Zhou King gave the group a profound look but said nothing.

Su Yu was eccentric, genuinely eccentric, but he usually did not act this way. Still, there had been precedents. When dealing with enemies, killing them was never enough; destroying their hearts was his primary goal!

This fellow possessed a silver tongue, fought like a demon, and planned with ruthless precision.

It had to be said that the Great Zhou King did not fear the Human Emperor nearly as much; for him, there was mostly respect and admiration. But toward Su Yu... he harbored a faint dread. When this youth grew enraged, he was far more terrifying than the Human Emperor.

It was not a matter of strength, but of pure aura!

The Human Emperor was ultimately a benevolent man—perhaps it was fitting to call him a benevolent sovereign. Su Yu, however, possessed none of that mercy.

At this moment, no one spoke.

They merely watched in silence!

They were capable of fighting, but Su Yu had no need for them to take the field. Yet, right at that moment, Su Yu’s spectral voice rang out: "Great Xia King, Great Qin King, have you forgotten my previous words? If the Myriad Clans drag this out any longer, unable to kill even when it is five against two, what are you doing standing there instead of slaughtering? Are you afraid that because we have killed too many of them, they will turn on us? Do you think I fear their betrayal?"

The moment these words left his mouth, far in the distance, Tiangu and the others changed expression!

Previously, the Great Qin King and his companions had indeed stopped the slaughter. Because they had merged into the realm and Su Yu was facing formidable enemies, they worried about a sudden revolt from the Myriad Clans.

But with Su Yu’s declaration... the Great Qin King’s face shifted slightly. In the next breath, he bellowed, "Generals, slay the enemy!"

Su Yu’s cold gaze swept over toward the Myriad Clans.

Tiangu’s expression contorted violently, and he roared, "Kill! Kill faster!"

Hurry!

Su Yu had laid it out in the open. Whether his claim of not fearing a betrayal was a bluff or the absolute truth, Tiangu did not know, but he refused to gamble on it!

In an instant, the five Masters of Laws, along with Yuansheng and Tiangu—who had now stepped into the Celestial tier—joined forces. Tiangu, Yuansheng, and the two powerhouses from the Dragon and Phoenix clans moved together to surround and slaughter Celestial Mo.

Meanwhile, the Divine Empress, Saint Marquis, and Huang joined forces to besiege Yuqing!

Every single one of them fought with frantic madness!

Kill faster!

Otherwise, Su Yu’s side would launch another massacre!

...

"They only understand force!"

Su Yu maintained a look of absolute coldness. As for the Myriad Clans turning their backs... frankly, if Tiangu were not the one leading them, he would have been worried. But since it was him, he had no fear, because that fellow Tiangu always loved overthinking everything!

Perhaps he possessed wisdom and methods, but as a leader, he lacked decisive resolve.

Having been deterred by Su Yu so many times, the probability of Tiangu turning on him was infinitesimally small.

Over there, Celestial Mo was beaten into critical condition in the blink of an eye. Bearing a trace of helplessness and profound sorrow, he realized the Fiend Clan... had chosen wrongly!

They had truly chosen wrongly!

Yu Qing and Baizhan—not a single one of these bastards was reliable!

At this very moment, he suddenly begged for mercy, his voice transmitting directly into Tiangu's mind: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have betrayed the Myriad Races alliance... But I was only following the orders of the Fire Demon Emperor of my Demon Race... Brother Tiangu... I have also become a Ruler of Rules now... I can stand with you, Brother..."

Tiangu's eyes flickered. Motianzun!

He did not actually care about Motianzun, but if they truly had to go behind the Gate of Hell... then the Demon Race's presence might prove useful!

The Fire Demon Emperor of the Demon Race seemed to be within the Gate of Hell as well.

Motianzun had colluded with Yu Qing and her lot, so perhaps he knew more. If Tiangu and the others entered, they would be blind and clueless, whereas Motianzun might possess some vital insight.

Tiangu thought rapidly, then suddenly sent a voice transmission back: "If you strike a counter-blow and kill Yu Qing in a moment, I can... try!"

He did not promise anything, for he had no authority to do so!

However, he could attempt to speak with Su Yu. In Su Yu's eyes, Motianzun was likely insignificant, even if he had become a Ruler of Rules!

If Motianzun killed Yu Qing... then he would completely break ties with the Lineage of the Demon King!

Evidence of this must, of course, be preserved!

After entering the Gate of Hell, this could be used to deter Motianzun, because the Demon King himself was within that very gate!

Motianzun's expression shifted slightly: "What you mean, Brother, is... if Su Yu wants me dead... even if I deal with Yu Qing, it will... change nothing?"

"Yes! If you are willing, then try your luck. If not... you can only die!"

Motianzun's heart grew immensely heavy!

Once upon a time, even the allegiance of a Ruler of Rules required Su Yu's personal nod of approval!

Yet, the circumstances were stronger than the man!

At this point, even Tiangu and his peers dared not resist, let alone himself.

Motianzun fell silent, and amid that silence, the group continued their relentless battle. Unwittingly, they drifted closer to Yu Qing. Yu Qing was indeed stronger than the other Rulers of Rules; her long spear swept out, dominating the battlefield.

The Divine Empress Consort had struck several times, and her consumption of energy was too vast.

Sheng Hou and Huang had also expended no small amount of strength, and having just broken through, the three Rulers of Rules were actually unable to take down Yu Qing in a short time!

Right at this moment, Motianzun let out a low shout: "Regroup... otherwise, once I am slain, you will not escape death either..."

Yu Qing did not actually want to bring Motianzun along, as that would only increase the pressure, but just as Motianzun had said, without him, she would have to face five Rulers of Rules and two Heavenly Venerables alone.

Somewhat reluctantly, Yu Qing swept her spear out with a thunderous roar as the Great Dao erupted, knocking Huang Tianzun flying!

She quickly converged with Motianzun, transmitting her voice: "Retreat, we can only retreat! Retreat behind the Gate of Hell... that fellow Baizhan is likely no match for Su Yu..."

Retreat!

Though it had been difficult to come out, and returning now filled her with unwillingness, it was still better than losing her life here!

Motianzun's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded.

The next moment, his purple hair whipped through the air. A streak of eerie light materialized from his palm, and a pitch-black power of the demonic path surged instantly as he struck a palm toward Yu Qing!

Yu Qing was shocked, snapping her head around as her spear swept back defensively!

But with Motianzun's sudden betrayal coupled with the other five Rulers of Rules, how could she have any chance to resist? Her face twisted in rage, and she roared furiously: "You fool, your clan's Fire Demon Emperor is right behind the gate... you..."

You betrayed the Myriad Races first, and now you betray the Saint Race. Betraying back and forth, how can you ever meet a good end?

If I die, your death will follow sooner or later!

I already said I would take you back behind the gate, yet you still betray me. You stupid creature, you are bound to die sooner or later!

Motianzun remained silent!

I know that betraying back and forth is not a good idea, nor will it lead to a good end. Yet, a look of profound sorrow appeared on his face: "You can abandon the Lineage of the Demon King... but I... cannot abandon the Demon Race!"

If you take me away, it will only be the two of us!

What then of the billions of demons belonging to my Demon Race in the lower realm?

The demons of the upper realm are also currently within the Kingdom of the Demon King. You can afford not to care, but I cannot.

Even if I betray back and forth, it is only me alone!

"Just as Yue Zhan said... all of you... actually do not care about the Saint Race... the so-called Saint Race... is nothing but a joke!"

Motianzun's heart was filled with bitter sorrow!

Retreat?

To have only myself retreat, and go behind the Hell Gate with Yandao to create a new race?

How laughable!

What is a race?

It is the foundation, the faith, the home, the country, the emotion, the power, the fame, the profit...

When these are gone, what do you have left?

You have absolutely nothing!

The so-called struggle of the Great Dao, what does it have to do with us?

That is far too high-level!

It is too distant from them, do you not know?

Boom!

The six Rulers of Rules and the two Heavenly Venerables struck simultaneously. Even though Yu Qing was powerful, she was only a slightly stronger fourth-grade Ruler of Rules, not an absolute peak existence. With a massive, earth-shattering boom!

Her physical body shattered into pieces!

The long spear disintegrated!

The power of chaos exploded and burst apart, and a colossal mushroom cloud rose into the sky!

From her body, a spherical object flew out, attempting to flee in an instant. At that moment, the Chaos Dragon suddenly bit down on Yue Xiao, roaring indistinctly through a mouthful of flesh: "Emperor Su, that is the Will of Chaos... do not let it escape, it can allow the existences within the Gate of Hell to return..."

With a crunch, Yue Xiao was bitten to pieces by him, and the dragon desperately wanted to rush over and seize that thing!

He wanted it so badly!

Yet, he did not dare leave.

The Eight-Winged Tiger felt the same way!

He desired it intensely as well!

At this moment, several powerful experts from Tiangu's side struck swiftly, capturing the sphere in a single grasp. The sphere struggled violently, and simultaneously, from the depths of the chaos, inside the Gate of Hell, a grand voice suddenly echoed: "Audacious! You dare to slaughter Junior Sister Qing..."

Before the words could even finish, Su Yu, who had been controlling Heaven and Earth all along, suddenly let out a furious roar as the veins on his forehead bulged. He raised his hand and forcefully yanked out the Human Mountain within Heaven and Earth. The Human Mountain transformed into a long blade, and the colossal Su Yu swung it like a massive saber, hacking straight toward the Gate of Hell!

"Screw your mother!"

Boom!

With this tremendous crash, the Three Realms shook!

The region of the Chaos Mountain exploded directly!

In the void, the phantom of the Gate of Hell was shattered into pieces by Su Yu's single strike of the mountain, "Tongtian!"

With a buzz!

Tongtian Hou arrived via teleportation, instantly devouring the shattered phantom!

Su Yu’s face was cold: “A cowardly wretch like you, hiding inside and unable to come out, still dares to provoke me!”

He casually tossed the human mountain to the ground. With a thunderous crash, the mountain settled, and atop it, countless members of the myriad races lay dead or wounded!

Tian Gu and the others were furious, their eyes nearly splitting, but they could do nothing.

Su Yu said coldly: “Hand over the item!”

Tian Gu tried to speak, but Su Yu casually threw a massive sphere into the air: “Your people in the lower realm—speed it up. If you don’t hand it over, I’ll kill Mo Tianzun. I can do without it!”

At these words, Mo Tianzun’s face changed.

Su Yu’s voice remained icy: “I know you might have guessed my intentions. While I haven’t yet dealt with Baizhan, and while my strike just now shattered that willpower, no one can see what’s happening here for a short time… Take your people and leave now! Don’t force me to change my mind!”

Tian Gu’s expression shifted slightly. He nodded, and the Divine Emperor Consort quickly hurled the chaotic will toward Su Yu. Tian Gu barked: “Go! Take everyone from the mountain away—quickly! Withdraw immediately!”

Withdraw from the myriad realms!

This realm was no longer theirs. They had to leave, to depart this place!

After a hundred thousand years of struggle, in the end, they could only choose to flee.

Soon, several Lords of Order swiftly gathered everything, taking the remnants of the mountain’s forces and stowing them into weapon spaces. They had to leave as quickly as possible, while the phantom of the Hell Gate had been shattered by Su Yu’s blade. Perhaps leaving now, entering now, would ensure greater secrecy.

Otherwise, behind the Hell Gate, someone might be watching them.

This Su Yu was truly terrifying!

He had even calculated this for them!

Su Yu had never acted directly himself… perhaps precisely to force them to leave, to leave quickly, so he could focus entirely on dealing with Baizhan and the others. Otherwise, Su Yu feared they might rebel!

Yes, that was exactly it!

Even now, Su Yu had not entered the fray himself!

That was his concern!

He worried that once he went all out against Baizhan and the others, Tian Gu and his forces might intervene, putting him in grave danger. But now, he was giving the myriad races a chance to withdraw early. Whether they left or not was up to them!

He reached out and grabbed the chaotic will.

The Eight-Winged Tiger and the Chaos Dragon were practically drooling!

But at this moment, Su Yu simply stowed it away, with no intention of giving it to them. The two ancient beasts wore expressions of sorrow—was he not going to give it to them?

How tragic!

We wanted it so badly!

At that moment, Baizhan suddenly roared in fury: “You’re retreating behind the Hell Gate? That place is extremely dangerous. Better to take a gamble…”

He understood Su Yu’s intent!

To prevent any mishap, Su Yu was willing to let even the myriad races go, just to kill them!

This meant that in Su Yu’s eyes, they were more deserving of death than the myriad races!

And Su Yu, no longer hiding his intentions, said coldly: “Three minutes! If the myriad races haven’t withdrawn in three minutes…”

“Withdraw!”

Tian Gu didn’t let him finish. He quickly gathered everything, abandoning all but essential resources and personnel. There was no need for more!

He roared, cutting off Su Yu’s words, then turned to face Su Yu and said solemnly: “The road is long and steep. This time, we have lost! Emperor Yu, if we ever have the chance to return to the myriad realms… then… we shall test your skills again!”

Su Yu sneered: “You? I suggest you don’t come back if you can help it… Besides, there’s no chance. If I win, I will surely break into the Hell Gate! Do you think I’m the kind of person who waits for enemies to attack my home? Wait for me! When I enter the Hell Gate, you will be my vanguard! Remember to guide me! Scout the situation, list the enemies I need to kill, prepare all the information—if I’m in a good mood, I might spare you!”

Arrogant!

Arrogant beyond all limits!

He would attack, not wait for them to come out.

But on second thought… Su Yu always did this.

He didn’t wait for enemies to invade the human realm; he attacked the myriad realms first. He didn’t wait for the upper realm to descend; he broke out of the lower realm and struck the upper realm!

He was always proactive!

Never passive!

He would even attack upstream, break into the Hell Gate!

Tian Gu smiled bitterly.

Perhaps… it would indeed come to that.

“Then… farewell!”

With a command from Tian Gu, the Lords of Order gathered everything. Their speed was not slow, and soon the group converged and flew swiftly toward the Hell Gate!

In no time, they arrived before a gate. But now, the Hell Gate had lost its former pressure, shattered by Su Yu’s blow.

Tongtian Hou was there.

At this moment, his eyes sparkled, and he grinned: “You’re leaving? Safe travels! I’ll open a passage for you. While this gate hasn’t awakened yet, and its revived will was shattered by His Majesty, I’ll smuggle you in…”

Tian Gu’s face changed: “No need!”

“Mo Tian, how do we enter?”

He dared not let Tongtian Hou send them in—that would be too terrifying!

Mo Tianzun’s expression also shifted, and he quickly said: “I don’t know the specifics, but I know one method… Use the blood of the Prison King’s lineage to inscribe a teleportation array, and it can send us in!”

Tian Gu’s eyes turned fierce: “Go! Kill all those above the Sun and Moon realm from the criminal tribes, and use their blood to teleport us!”

Mo Tianzun’s face changed, but Tian Gu roared: “Go!”

Mo Tianzun gritted his teeth, nodded, and vanished. Soon, from the distant valley surrounded by mountains, a series of bloodcurdling screams arose.

Within a minute, Mo Tianzun returned, drenched in blood. He produced a mass of essence blood and quickly began to inscribe something on the gate. Tian Gu remained silent.

Soon, a peculiar force emanated from behind the gate.

Tian Gu looked back once more, then at Tongtian, who was still smiling beside him. He sighed softly: “A hundred thousand years of struggle, all turned to nothing in a single moment. To encounter Emperor Yu in this life… perhaps it is my fortune, and the sorrow of the myriad races!”

“Farewell… perhaps… never to meet again!”

“Go!”

With a low shout, the several powerful figures swiftly vanished into the gate!

The blood-constructed teleportation array shattered instantly!

A hundred thousand years!

Ten thousand years since the ancient era vanished, from the first tide to the tenth tide. On the side of the myriad races, six Lords of Order, two Heavenly Lords, along with the remaining powerful beings of the myriad races and their clans, withdrew from the myriad realms!

The defeated had no choice!

Before them lay only the unknown.

This departure might mean they would never return!

Until the very last moment, Tiangu did not dare to lead the myriad-race powerhouses to ambush and kill Su Yu—he… dared not gamble.

…

At this moment, Su Yu smiled!

The myriad races had fled!

The six Rule Masters had all departed!

Today, Yu Qing, Po Long, Yue Zhan, Chang Qing, Chang Mei, Yue Xiao—these people had all been slain. The myriad races left, and at this point, before his eyes, only these enemies remained!

And by now, both Yu and Baizhan had utterly lost their luster!

The myriad races had escaped!

They fled straight to the other side of the gate, even though it was perilous beyond measure, unwilling to clash with Su Yu!

Su Yu had shattered the courage of the myriad races!

Yet the myriad races had at least left behind six Rule Masters—even if they entered the Gate of Hell, it wasn’t as if they had no power to fight. But these few before him seemed doomed!

Su Yu revealed a smile: “Any more tricks up your sleeve? Can Zhou Ji kill the Martial Emperor and come over sooner?”

“Baizhan, your wife has come out, your son is blocked—why not call your father out? If not, summon the Human Ancestor?”

Baizhan’s face was grim!

Su Yu twisted his neck and laughed: “Since they’ve all gone, I’ll play with you a while. Xingyue, go kill that big ugly woman. I’ll handle Baizhan myself. As they say, king meets not king… but when a true king meets a false king, a true emperor meets a false king—of course… I’ll personally slay him!”

With that, he threw a punch!

Baizhan let out a low shout and threw a punch in return—Boom!

A thunderous crash!

Su Yu stood unmoving; Baizhan staggered back several steps, his hands drenched in blood!

“Baizhan, I’ll beat you to death punch by punch, so you understand: one force subdues ten techniques—that’s the strong’s declaration to the weak!”

Su Yu stepped through the void and threw another punch!

Boom!

A phantom figure emerged on Baizhan’s body, only to be shattered by Su Yu’s fist, followed by the explosion of one of his acupoints!

“Too weak!”

Su Yu shouted coldly, “Not enough!”

He struck again. Baizhan roared, all his acupoints blazing with dazzling light—Boom!

Su Yu also erupted with 720 acupoints, but his flesh and will-sea were evenly matched!

Yet the force of this punch still surpassed Baizhan’s!

“Collapse, break, shatter…”

With this punch, divine runes appeared one after another, and rule paths manifested!

Boom!

Baizhan flew backward, bathed in blood, his path trembling, acupoints exploding, hair disheveled, his crown knocked off by Su Yu’s fist. Now, Su Yu trampled him underfoot!

Su Yu stomped, crushing the crown to pieces, and said flatly: “You… what kind of king are you?”

What kind of king are you?

You are none!

Baizhan, hair wild, rose swiftly, cracks appearing on his arms, blood streaming!

“Su Yu…”

He looked at Su Yu, his eyes infinitely complex: “You… won’t grant me even a shred of dignity at the end?”

Su Yu was cold: “You don’t deserve it! Dignity is something you earn yourself! I’d rather leave a little face for that weakling Tiangu than spare you any!”

When Tiangu left, Su Yu even saw him off.

Baizhan—he wouldn’t give him face!

Baizhan gave a bitter laugh: “So… in your eyes, I’m truly that worthless?”

Boom!

Su Yu threw another punch!

“We’ve said all that needs saying. The outsiders are gone. Traitors of our own—we deal with them ourselves. No more words!”

Earlier, Su Yu had been willing to chat a bit, to pronounce his guilt.

Now that the myriad races had fled, he couldn’t be bothered to say anything.

One punch, two punches, three punches…

Each punch was laced with the power of various paths, blow after blow, battering Baizhan into a bloody mess as he stumbled backward!

At that moment, a fierce roar rang out.

“Flee!”

Boom!

A deafening blast erupted behind Su Yu—a thunderous explosion as a figure named Leibaow roared and shattered into pieces, his lingering will drifting between heaven and earth, faintly visible as he looked at Su Yu, almost pleading!

Su Yu was surprised: “You didn’t save Yu, but you ran to save Baizhan? Lunatic!”

Self-destruct if you will!

A small crack seemed to appear in Su Yu’s world, and at that instant, on the other side, Yueluo also roared madly, charging at Su Yu like a moth to the flame!

Su Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Baizhan: “You’ve got something. Not entirely useless—at least someone’s willing to die for you. But you… seem to have let them down!”

Baizhan’s face showed grief!

Yes!

I have let them down!

“Su Yu!”

Baizhan let out a soft laugh, suddenly much more composed. “Maybe I really am a waste, but even a waste has some redeeming qualities… Perhaps… I’m not as worthless as you say…”

Su Yu watched him silently. Baizhan’s aura suddenly surged, and he chuckled lowly: “I may not match you… but my son… he surpasses me…”

Su Yu was taken aback, then laughed: “Damn! You’re still counting on your son? A man who doesn’t rely on himself, always thinking of leaning on his son or his wife, or else on a mistress… you’re a real waste!”

Baizhan didn’t mind, smiling: “Maybe you’re right, but my son… truly is better than me! Su Yu, perhaps he will be your true rival. I… cannot defeat you, nor am I your equal!”

At that moment, his blood energy suddenly skyrocketed, his aura terrifyingly strong. He threw a punch at Su Yu—a punch that actually drove Su Yu back—while the acupoints on his body that hadn’t yet exploded began to burst one after another!

Baizhan’s golden armor appeared, his crown materialized again, and with a smile: “Fight again!”

He pressed forward aggressively, throwing punch after punch, unleashing every technique, but his acupoints kept exploding, blood streaks covering his body. He struck again and again!

At this moment, Baizhan was valiant beyond compare!

A hundred battles to become king!

If I do not fight, how can I be king?

The long-browed one speaks true!

How could I avoid battle?

He threw countless punches, fighting with his life, and for a moment, he suppressed Su Yu, driving him back step by step!

He had only this fleeting instant, yet he still wished to bloom with final brilliance!

And at that moment, Su Yu suddenly grew enraged!

"You dare to risk your life, and I do not? Do you take me for you?"

"Burn!"

With a furious roar, his blood and qi ignited, his Great Dao ignited, and as Baizhan stared in stunned disbelief, Su Yu's aura surged!

In this situation, Su Yu could have waited a moment, let him burn his last brilliance, unleash his final radiance, and die in glory…

But no!

Su Yu coldly shouted: "Yield once, yield every time! Besides, I do not wish for a traitor to have any so-called final radiance. Better you die in misery!"

Boom!

The power of the Great Dao blazed. Su Yu, this madman, would not even let a man die with dignity!

"Heaven-Splitter!"

One slash of the blade, and the Dao of the blade manifested, plunging heaven and earth into darkness!

Blade-light reflected across myriad realms!

"Expand the Spirit!"

One hammer blow, and the sky shattered, the earth cracked, mountains crumbled, and chaos dissipated!

Baizhan, who had been fierce for but an instant, was now battered by Su Yu's equally desperate assault, screaming in agony. In the blink of an eye, his golden armor shattered, his crown shattered again, his flesh shattered, his acupoints shattered!

Su Yu was a madman!

Those who knew him, who understood him, all knew he was a madman!

Baizhan was clearly doomed to die!

Su Yu only needed to wait a little, pay no price, and Baizhan would kill himself—though at the last moment, he would surely suppress Su Yu, rendering him immobile.

Yet… Su Yu would not!

Why should he?

Why should I yield to you?

Just some price to pay—can I, Su Yu, not afford it?

I will make you fall in the final misery!

No face for you!

"Slash, Break, Annihilate!"

Another blade stroke, and with a *puchi*, Baizhan's arm was severed.

Another blade, and Baizhan's legs were severed. With a thunderous crash, Su Yu kicked him, sending him flying backward, dragging a long trail of blood through the void!

Below, even the Great Zhou King and the others watched, their hearts chilled!

Su Yu was truly ruthless!

He would not even leave Baizhan the dignity of death in his final moment.

He wanted to shatter everything about him!

Wu Ji and the others, their faces heavy, had followed Baizhan for many years. Now, Wu Ji's expression shifted, and he suddenly knelt on one knee, his voice resounding: "Your Majesty the Yu Emperor, Lord Baizhan… after all, was the human sovereign of nine generations. I beg Your Majesty the Yu Emperor to grant Lord Baizhan his final dignity!"

Death, but not like this—too desolate!

Su Yu, cold and aloof, stopped in his tracks, looked at Baizhan opposite him, and said flatly: "Your subordinates are pleading for you. I, Su Yu, am not one to disregard loyalty. Kill yourself! A self-inflicted death is better than being slaughtered by me. If you do not, I will surely torture you to death!"

Baizhan smiled bitterly, coughed blood, and nodded: "Thank you…"

He looked at Wu Ji and the others, a trace of apology in his eyes: "Thank you! I'm sorry… thank you… for leaving me some dignity…"

With that, he stopped struggling, and his Great Dao suddenly began to collapse!

Suicide!

Yes, he chose suicide. Su Yu was no ordinary man—too ruthless. He would not leave Baizhan his final dignity. If Wu Ji and the others had not knelt, he would not even have given Baizhan the chance to kill himself!

That was a true hard case!

In his life, Baizhan had encountered many strong men, but few like Su Yu, who would make even your death miserable and ignoble.

At this moment, Baizhan self-collapsed his Great Dao.

His flesh began to crumble!

He could not defeat Su Yu; even if he erupted again, he could not!

Since that was so… fighting would only be a miserable death!

"Your Majesty!"

At that moment, a mournful laugh rang out. Su Yu was about to turn and throw a punch, but Yueluo suddenly self-collapsed her Great Dao, looked at Su Yu, and showed a pleading expression: "I beg you, let me see His Majesty off!"

She bowed to Su Yu, who frowned slightly.

Yueluo laughed bitterly: "I beg the Yu Emperor to grant me this once… I know the Yu Emperor despises me…"

Su Yu frowned a little, then said flatly: "Go!"

Yueluo broke into a radiant smile!

Her clothes suddenly changed, revealing a pitiful, delicate look. She gazed at Baizhan, her voice soft: "Your Majesty!"

Baizhan's eyes were clouded; he looked at her, a trace of sorrow in his gaze.

"Your Majesty!"

Yueluo walked toward him step by step, showing a tender expression: "It was my fault… I should not have listened to Yu's orders and deliberately led Your Majesty to the Giant Clan. In my eyes, Your Majesty will always be the overlord of the Ninth Tide, sweeping all before you!"

"Your Majesty… let me see you off on your final journey… I only hope… there is a next life…"

Baizhan showed a faint smile, nodded slightly, then suddenly reached out and took her hand, laughing: "You said… you wanted to see the myriad realms… from the sky. I… will take you to see them…"

He did not look at Yu, holding Yueluo, and flew into the sky, higher and higher!

Higher and higher!

But their figures gradually dissolved, and Yueluo dissolved as well. Baizhan's voice came, carrying some relief, some joy: "Perhaps I was truly unworthy to be king… More than six thousand years ago, I should have retired with Yueluo… then perhaps none of this would have happened today… Su Yu… thank you!"

Thank you, Su Yu, for giving him one last chance in the end.

Su Yu watched them fade away in silence, a trace of indifference on his face. No courtesy—if your grandson had not scattered the power of his Great Dao into my world at the last moment, I would not have let you die in peace!

Baizhan knew Su Yu was ruthless enough!

So at the last moment, to leave himself some dignity, he chose to merge a vast amount of his fleshly Dao power into Su Yu's world.

This was the key reason Su Yu had not intervened!

Otherwise, if the two of them had tried to play out some tragic love story, believe me, Su Yu would have shattered them with a single punch!

That was how ruthless he was!

Bai Zhan knew it, and Yue Luo knew it too, so at the final moment, both chose to sever their own paths, leaving the power of their paths within Su Yu's world!

By now, the enemies were nearly all dead!

In the entire world, only three remained.

Su Yu, the phantom of Xingyue, and Yu!

After the battle, Su Yu had slain all the powerful foes, driving the myriad races into the gates of hell. At this moment, only the formidable Yu still lived—and not only lived, but this woman was truly fierce, causing even Xingyue's phantom to scatter!

But as Bai Zhan fell, Yu's face turned utterly grim.

Bai Zhan... was dead!

If he had self-destructed at the last moment, he might have blown open Su Yu's world, but Bai Zhan did not. Instead, he chose to sever his path, seeking only a moment of peace, to fly away with Yue Luo as a pair!

"Worthless!"

Yu snorted coldly, her voice laced with anger and frustration!

Such a favorable situation, and Bai Zhan had ruined it!

Otherwise, she and Bai Zhan would have escaped long ago!

Rumble!

At this moment, the myriad realms trembled. With Bai Zhan's death and the myriad races retreating, the fortune of all realms converged toward Su Yu's world!

And Yu clearly sensed that Su Yu was still growing stronger!

If this continued, she too would find it hard to escape death!

Su Yu smiled, looking at her, then at Bai Zhan and Yue Luo fading in the void, and said with emotion, "Your man... betrayed you. How pitiful!"

Yu replied coldly, "Betrayed, so what? A waste like him deserves to die!"

"How tragic... You should have said that before he died!"

Su Yu laughed!

Yu was quite strong—hard to kill!

Also, Zhou Ji still hadn't shown up. That shouldn't be the case, right?

Your father is dead, your mother is about to die. If you don't appear soon, I'll have to find a way to kill your mother!

(The End)
